Sorry everyone, no pics. Did not want to repeatedly vomit in my mouth every time I opened up my phones photos.

Thanks for all the nice replies, I guess I will buy a factory set of tail lights since I cannot stand this rental malibu and replace ultimately with the APEX's I have on order!

Anyone know the cheapest place to get them? GM parts direct?

What about these? Afterburners, not sequential tails-- but I think they're better!

How the hell did he break your taillights?! It wasn't a front-end collision?

Man I'd be beating someone's azz

I am in a real bind. Late one night during the holidays a friend and fellow classmate took my car and wrecked it pretty badly. He was fine. The car was not. Unfortunately, it was not totaled and I have to be content with that. It has been a very big hassle cleaning up his mess this whole holiday season. I would love to disclose the details of the incident but my lawyer has advised me not to discuss my case against this individual. Sorry for the cliffhanger.

So

I decided that something good would come from this. I am getting the factory wheels powder-coated black, I requested my trunk panel area between the lights painted matte black

and that I would replace the tail lights with the apex motor sport sequential tail lights that I've long wanted. Well, I called and am on the waiting list

rats...

I am a law student in downtown Houston and need my car back as soon as possible since my semester starts on the 11th. The body work will be done in roughly 1 1/2 weeks...

The nice individuals at apex put me on the list but was wondering if anyone knew of any other good tail lights or vendors that had something comparable for sale sooner? I'm not sure when another shipment comes in and I need my car back as soon as its repaired :( If I had all the time in the world I'd be 1000% willing to wait for the shipment.

I suppose I could just get factory tails.... but I'm not willing to settle... yet

Any help would be greatly appreciated

don't be mad at your friend. Be mad at your self for letting him drive it what the hell were you thinking. I never feel bad for people who don't use there brain. And what does your friend drive and how old is he please do tell

Op is taking the guy to court so an azz will hopefully be had.

BigBlock427 · 01-06-2012, 02:42 PM

^ chances are he didnt let him drive... he prob grabbed the keys out of his jacket or somthing.

this has happend to me... I was at a party and my friend took my keys to my old STi one night to go move it to another spot in our apparment complex just to mess with me. well when he was doing this he was spotted by an off duty cop... when he got out of the car he was stumbling and looked drunk... which he was... so anways long story short the cop called his station and anothe on duty cops came to the party and asked for the driver of the black subaru... I came to the door and asked him what was the problem. he exsplained the story to me and I said there is no way... my car is right out front....which it wasnt not helping my case at all...he was going to give me a DUI because I had been drinking to but I lived up stairs and wasnt driving anywhere that night... my friend did fess up and almost got hit with a DUI.... friends can be stupid....
